  2. 1984. Sega's first home console gets a keyboard. ⌨️🎮

    Sega SK-1100. A keyboard peripheral for the SG-1000 (Sega's debut console, released in 1983).

    Why a keyboard? Basic programming. Maybe educational dreams. Maybe just "why not?"

    Before the Master System. Before Genesis. Sega was already experimenting.

    Rare. Weird. Wonderful.

  7. 21th place: "Akalabeth1000" for the #SEGA #SG1000 (by dark).

    It started out as a proof of concept (PoC) for the Sega SC-3000, focusing on the drawing routines. Later, I became interested in how the game works at its core. The GW-Basic port of Akalabeth, which is itself a port of Applesoft Basic, served as the template.

    Download the ROM here: smspower.org/Homebrew/Akalabet

  8. 11th place: "Arpabet Speech Synthesizer" for the #SEGA #SG1000 (by Digital Fluff).

    Speech synthesis using ARPABET phonemes. Technical demo showing off 2 things:
    - Porting from Colecovision development kit to #devkitSMS.
    - Minimal speech synthesis engine using ARPABET phonemes.

    Download the ROM here: smspower.org/Homebrew/ArpabetS

  9. The 2026 #SMSPower! Compo results are in! 😍
    Here are the results for the *coding* competition: smspower.org/Competitions/Codi

    Congrats to everyone involved! 🎉 🎉

    ( I'll follow up this post later with a post for each of the entries - it'll take a while...)

  10. ... did I mention that with the latest #devkitSMS you can write software (like... games, for instance!) for the #SEGA #SG1000 / #SC3000 and also compile them for the #ColecoVision too? 😁

  11. What a weird coincidence! 😲

    Today is #SEGA Mark III's 40th anniversary from its original release - and this morning I have pushed an updated devkitSMS/SGlib that adds support... for the #ColecoVision 😅

    Anyway, I hope you like it. Basically now porting your SG-1000/SC-3000 game to the ColecoVision is just a recompilation away. 😁

  12. This week on the blog: I port my TI-99/4A capstone project over to the SG-1000, then refactor it so that ports to the ColecoVision and MSX are relatively trivial. Along the way I poke into as many corners of the Z80 ISA as I can.

    This week focuses mostly on the SG-1000, to continue from the previous article; I'll be looking more closely at the details of the CV and MSX soon enough.

  14. This week on the blog: I'm planning to mess around some with the "Children of the TI-99" systems I'd identified last week, but step one on that is to get the SG-1000 -- which is basically just bare hardware your ROM needs to interface with -- enough support code that writing for it will be roughly equivalent to the ColecoVision and MSX.

    Alternately: I get to write my own BIOS! Hooray!

  15. There's still almost two weeks to enter the SMS Power! Competition. Create music, an hack, or code something that runs on the #SEGA #MasterSystem or the #GameGear (or the #SG1000 and #SC3000 if you're brave!) 😄

    Here's a nice video of all the Coding competition entries we had last year: youtube.com/watch?v=vhgg4rPAJv
